Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high!

However, the swarming insects that had already closed in on the warriors' faces were not about to give them that chance.

"Are you not ordering a retreat yet?" The messenger captain was nearly driven mad with urgency.

Before seeing General Bai E in action, he'd thought this trip to Blackwater City wasn't all that important.

Succeeding would be great, but if not, consider it a tourist visit.

But now... the total annihilation of Blackwater City's army wasn't even as critical as a single hair on General Bai E's head.

Armies are easy to recruit, but a general is hard to find.

If it weren't for the lack of personnel in his hands, the messenger captain would've been tempted to mutiny right there and take command away from the Blackwater City officials!

However, upon hearing the messenger captain's words, one of the Blackwater City officials looked at the messengers with a strange expression, "How do we order a retreat?"

"Order them to retreat! Order Bai... order them to retreat!"

The messenger captain pointed at the Blackwater City warriors in the screen who were being intimidated by the psychological domain's dominion, "Caught in the dominion's domain, they have lost the power to resist. Can't you see that the insects are already swarming over them?"

Every inch gained by an insect, felt like a step trampled directly upon the messenger captain's heart.

It was absolutely nerve-racking.

The numerous Blackwater City officials were also intently watching the developments on the screen, murmuring under their breath, "It all depends on you now, General Bai..."

Even they were tense when it came to this moment.

The speed at which General Bai E killed the dominator was a race against the insects devouring the army.

"What's the use of relying on him," the messenger captain laughed out of sheer exasperation, "After the entire army is wiped out, are you expecting him to single-handedly destroy the entire insect nest?"

People have limits.

Even the invincible War God from the capital would inevitably enter a period of weakness requiring recovery time after prolonged combat.

If General Bai E could single-handedly destroy the entire insect nest... then you might as well believe I'm a giant of light from the M78 Nebula.

The Blackwater City officials knew they couldn't count on General Bai E to eradicate the entire nest alone, "But he can kill the dominator."

Another official, unwilling to see their city questioned, added, "Once the dominator is dead, its psychological realm will naturally collapse."

"???" The messenger captain seemed to hear the biggest joke in the world, his finger almost directly pointing to the dominator beast on the screen, even if it occupied only a corner from a distance, "Do you think that thing can be killed by a single Mecha? Is your understanding of these creatures too narrow-minded?"

Looking at the three slightly smaller beasts guarding the dominator, the messenger captain continued to point and comment, "Not to mention the three escort protectors! Without sending the full army to wear it down through attrition, I don't even know how you plan to win!"

After panting heavily, the messenger captain, red-faced and thick-necked, pointed at the nose of the Blackwater City official who had interjected and scolded, "You don't understand the insects at all!"

"It's you who don't understand General Bai E..."

'F*ck this mission, I'm done. Today I've got to set these idiots straight!' The messenger captain vowed in his heart, ready to completely fall out with these so-called officials of Blackwater City.

If he could just wake these idiots up and get them to agree to a retreat, even if it meant a complete fallout, it would be worth it.

"Captain..." Just as he was about to explode, a soft call from his female team member came through, along with the gentle tug at his sleeve.

"What?" The captain turned and glared at her, signaling her not to drag at the heels of her captain when he was about to unleash his fury.

"Look at that..." The female team member carefully pointed toward the live drone footage on the big screen, somewhat puzzled, "That General Bai, he seems unaffected."

The dominator's psychological realm spread like ripples, and even with such rapid expansion, the Mech Pilot aboard the innermost Mech was surely the first to be controlled.

Yet that great general seemed completely unaffected by the dominator's psychological pressure.

There he stood, still holding aloft the battle flag in his left hand, the will of the Ying shining at the very core of the insect nest.

"What is he going to do?"

"Die with dignity?"

The messenger captain's face lit up with joy, "Quick, quick, quick! Hasten the retreat for General Bai E, he's not being suppressed, and there are no obstacles on his retreat path! Let the others die if they must, but General Bai E absolutely cannot die!"

"..."

A few Blackwater City officials looked with deep resentment at the messenger captain representing the will of the imperial capital.

Is their favoritism now totally undisguised?

We kindly let you into our city as a guest, only to find you now coveting the treasure of our city's defense?

"We can't order it." The Elder Council's leading elder replied with a distant voice.

"Why can't you give the order?!" The messenger captain didn't understand at all.

What kind of miracle were they waiting for at this point?

"Because General Bai E is the supreme commander..."

The Blackwater City official, tired of being pointed at and criticized, finally couldn't tolerate it anymore and burst out, "We've been telling you from the start! General Bai E is the supreme commander! General Bai E is the supreme commander! Are you deaf or what!"

Blackwater City's diplomat also murmured in agreement, "Theoretically, we are supposed to be under General Bai E's command as well."

The Elder Council's elder maintained an utterly calm and collected demeanor in front of outsiders, "From the moment the army left the city, every detail of the entire force only obeys the will of General Bai E alone. Not just us, even if the lord of the city himself were present, the absolute command of this battle would rest solely in the hands of General Bai E. This is our absolute trust in him."
